Office politics. Culture. The fact that it doesn't matter what the company says their culture is and that their culture is defined by the behaviors that they do and don't allow in the workplace. Culture can vary from team to team

Can you imagine the echo in one of those things? Plus, for the price of one of those, I'd be tempted to pick up a used storage container and renovate that.

There's no reason to be apologetic. The fact of the matter is that there are two types of employees, those who work and those who have a job. Employees who work are creating value, whereas employees who have a job are trading time for

I'm going to give some blind advice. I've never been laid off nor have I done consulting - I'm not speaking from personal experience here. No matter which route you decide to go, work on some hard skills. Something. Anything.

If you have absolutely no experience programming, start with Python. There are three things to learn when programming: 1) language syntax, 2) concepts (conditionals, logic gates, loops, etc.), and 3) how to solve problems. What makes python

You say that as if a twin engine plane is safer. Twin engine airplanes should be treated the same as a single engine aircraft. Most small twin engine airplanes typically cannot fly efficiently with a single engine if you have passengers and

I had feeling this was going to happen. While I don't live in one of the metro areas on the map, I recently had an order that I received the next day, although I chose 2-day shipping.

The industry needs more people like you, passionate and eager to learn. Start networking. You never know who you might meet. You have a better chance at landing your first job through an acquaintance as opposed to answering a help wanted ad

Bored is the word you're looking for. We have all been there. Sometimes it gets better, sometimes it doesn't. Some people are barely capable of doing the same thing day in and day out, year after year. For them, ignorance is bliss

I bought and read this book soon after it was originally published. This, by far, was my favorite interview.

Yeah, I was tempted to pull the trigger on that. I recently acquired a Dell Precision M4400 for a good deal and put an SSD in it, so I'm using that with Xubuntu as my primary now.

I saw this deal recently - $399 Refurbished: Lenovo T420 Intel Core i5 2520M 2.5GHz 8GB / 128GB SSD http://www.neweggflash.com/Product/9SIA3TX2064547?icid=WP_0_... Edited: price.

Apple's Investor Relations website is also built with ColdFusion - http://investor.apple.com/sec.cfm - which is mostly likely not built by a consulting service. I'd bet that neither site uses Adobe ColdFusion, but

I would emerge myself into the world of data science and big data. It's the new frontier and is where the web was 15 years ago. The trend I've seen with web development is that it's mostly a primary skill. While data science

That's a pretty nice review. I hadn't heard of System76 before. Looks like they make some solid hardware. I had similar touch pad issues with a HP where the sensitivity was either too much or not enough. When I ran Xubuntu, I saw

Wow, isn't this timely? I've been running Xubuntu. I've been feeling like it's a little overkill. It may be time to give Crunchbang a try.

It's obvious this person doesn't share the same values as you. You need to ask yourself, "Why is this person my cofounder?" If you don't see eye to eye, now in the beginning, you're going to continue to have di
